[Verse 1]
[G]At seven this mor[C]ning
I [G]got on the phone
And said [C]to hold my Bronc
[D]as long as you can[G]
My car broke down in [C]Billings and
they [G]just got it [D]back to[G]gether
I'll be [C]photo finishing [D]in
to old Cheyen[G]ne

[Verse 2]
We'll [G]here I am in [C]Sheridan and it
[G]s 9 o'clock in the morni[C]ng
And [D]times a going [G]fast
I just pulled her [C]over had some [G]coffee
And a doughnut and I
[C]bought the car a [D]brand
New tank [G]of gas

[Verse 3]
Well I [D]don't know if I'm gonna
make it, it[C]s nine-fifteen
[G]I'll I'll be [C]lucky if I [D]ever get [G]there
By [D]god what it that I hear, [C]is it a siren,
[G]Sure eno[C]ugh he [D]got me on his rad[G]ar
He pulled up be[C]hind me and turned on
those [G]flashing lights [C]a sign that I knew
[D]Meant pull it over

[Verse 4]
[G]
So I stomped on my [C]brakes and
as I [G]skidded to a halt,
I wiped out [C]three
Reflector [D]posts along [G]the shoulder
He got out of [C]his car and
was [G]a walking real slow
So I [C]jumped out and [D]met him

[Verse 5]
[G]Half-way
He He jerked out his [C]gun and
said [G]mister are you crazy,
I ain't [C]never seen nobody
[D]Drive that way[G]
I [D]told him take it easy and he could
[C]put up that [G]cannon
The way [C]he was shaking
It [D]just might go

[Verse 6]
[G]off
He [D]put up the gun as I ex
[C]plained my situ[G]ation
He [C]listened to [D]my story
then [G]he coughed[F]
He wrote me out [Bb]a ticket,
that [F]seemed to take forever.
I [Bb]took it and as I
[C]Headed for my car

[Verse 7]
[F]
That cop he hollered [Bb]after me
[F]and said hey cowboy
You better [Bb]slow down cause
You [C]can't outrun this [F]radar!
As I rolled on down the [Bb]road
I was [F]a cursing
About [Bb]the ticket that [C]I had just acq[F]uired

[Verse 8]
I [F]wondered if I [Bb]ought to pay it our just
[F]throw it out the window, but I [Bb]might
Just set [C]the damn thing [F]afire
So [C]I gunned it once again and was a trav
[Bb]eling down the high[F]way with [Bb]the gas
Pedal a [C]mashed to [F]the floor

[Verse 9]
When I [C]came around a curve and [Bb]right there
in [F]the highway there was [Bb]more damn
Sheep than I [C]ever seen be[F]fore
I'm going to fast to [Bb]ever stop,
so I [F]just close my eyes as the [Bb]car r[C]olls on
Through the her[F]d

[Verse 10]
When I [F]opened up my [Bb]eyes again there's a
[F]sheep on the fender and that and that
[Bb]Herds saying some [C]mighty
awful [F]words
The sweats a dripping [Bb]off my hands as I
[F]barrel through old Wheatland I'm a
[Bb]Nervous wreck and [C]I
must be [F]a sight

[Verse 11]
[F]The flies inside [Bb]this old car are
[F]buzzing all around me
Guess [Bb]my 2[C]4-hour deodorant quit
last [F]night[C][Bb]
60 50 40 30 20 miles [F]more the rodeo
[Bb]starts in an[C]other [F]18 minutes
I [C]pull in through the main gate
and I [Bb]hear the anthem [F]playing,

[Verse 12]
I can't believe [Bb]it thank G[C]od
I finally [F]made [G]it
There's only one more [C]obstacle
[G]a standing in [D]my [G]way.
Its [C]a n[D]itwit with a weekend
[G]badge
He standing by [C]the gate and
as [G]I slide her to a halt,

[Verse 13]
He yells [C]where in the hell
you go[D]ing so dog gone [G]fast
I tell him that I'm [C]entered and
I [G]ain't got time to talk
My [C]horse is in [D]the chute and I'm [G]late
He says I need to [C]get a pass [G]from the secretary
my [C]eyes get red my [D]heart fills

[Verse 14]
Up with [G]hate.
I [D]yell you dirty so and so you [C]better let
me [G]through he [C]asked if I'd repeat
[D]That once aga[G]in
So I [D]whacked him in the mouth and [C]a left
him lying there [G]on [C]his back a kick[D]ing

[Verse 15]
In [D]the sand[G]
I got there just in [C]time to see my [G]Bronc come
running out his [C]head and tail was
[D]A held way [G]up high
I swear he looked [C]right straight at me and
[G]grinned and gave horse laugh and [C]me
I just [D]stood there [Gm]and cried [G]I turned around
feeling [C]helpless and [G]fairly

[Verse 16]
Dumbfounded I [C]looked and [D]what did
[G]I see 3 highway [C]patrolmen
And [G]a gate man with a fat lip
And [C]they were all [D]a looking right at [G]me
Sit[D]ting in the cell now I've
[C]done a lot [G]of thinking
About that [C]wild run [D]I made a month [G]ago

[Verse 17]
I'm [D]sorry that I'm in this
rot[C]ten situ[G]ation
If I could [C]do it again I [D]wouldn't
have drove [G]so slow
If I could [C]do it again I
[D]wouldn't have drove [G]so slow
